Read further for a little history of this recent addition to the SIGCOMM conference:

1995 (Boston) Kick-off event
        described as "...there will be an Outrageous Opinions Session where you
        can participate or listen to ideas that may be outrageous today, but
        perhaps reality tomorrow...."

        Hosted by Bruce Davie, packed room, lots of opinions,
        lots of "ATM vs Big-I".  Both serious and funny.

1996 (Stanford) Conference social focus was on GREAT WINE,
        so no time for Outrageous Opinions Session.....

1997 (Cannes) Renewed interest, albeit "watered down"...

1998 (Vancouver) .... <YOUR NAME HERE> ....
